I remember the success generated by an immersive ABBA "concert" experience a few years back, featuring digital avatars of the band. The same is now being worked on for KISS. Do you one day see WWE trying something like this with their Legends roster? The idea of an immersive virtual experience taking fans into what a live WWE event was like for generations of fans before then could be very cool. Bringing names like Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant or Randy Savage "back to life" as avatars. Thoughts?
I think it's absolutely something that could happen one day, but if and when it does, there will be an outrage about the usage of AI, the way there are some who have pushed back against The Sphere in Las Vegas doing their Wizard of Oz presentation changing aspects of that film's original presentation. You mentioned ABBA and I know KISS is working on developing something similar, but the difference between those projects and what you propose is that the WWE names you have mentioned have passed away and can't give their own consent the way the band members currently can. I can absolutely see TKO looking into some sort of fantasy animated project down the line, perhaps taking votes from the audience as to who "should" win the matches and having different prepared endings. There's positives and negatives to it all, as there is with all new technologies.
Where has Damian Priest disappeared to?
We have reported a number of times he's been banged up but is working through it.
Has AAA ever run NYC?
Yes, they ran The Paramount Theater in July 1994, headlined by Konnan & Perro Aguayo Sr. & Cien Caras vs. Jake Roberts & Eddy Guerrero & Art Barr. I was there. The show was sold out.
Whatever happened to CZW?
They still run but are nowhere near as high profile as they were before the pandemic.
I saw people were taking your Samoa Joe interview this week and acting like he was hurt. Then, he wrestled on AEW last night. Do you think any of them will apologize to Joe?
Joe, in our interview, was discussing an injury that happened when he filmed Twisted Metal last year. Obviously, he was fine to wrestle yesterday. Unfortunately, there are far too many who have no reading comprehension and they then incorrectly repeated what was stated. I doubt they will apologize to Joe, but they should.
